Goodbye to American mischief in Iraq, a motion to form a popular government in Baghdad

After the controversial parliamentary elections in Iraq and events such as the burning of ballot boxes and political party disputes, many experts predicted that the political dead end in 2010 is likely to continue. Meanwhile, with the spread of civil protests in Iraq, as well as the challenges followed, all of which provoked an increase in political tensions in Iraq, the election of the head of parliament, the president and subsequently prime minister, led to a new perspective on Iraq's future developments.

After the controversial parliamentary elections in Iraq and events such as the burning of ballot boxes and political party disputes, many experts predicted that the political dead end in 2010 is likely to continue. Meanwhile, with the spread of civil protests in Iraq, as well as the challenges followed, all of which provoked an increase in political tensions in Iraq, the election of the head of parliament, the president and subsequently prime minister, led to a new perspective on Iraq’s future developments.

Now, however, the Iraqi prime minister is in charge of electing new government ministers by exchanging views with political factions. This is while he received a call from US Secretary of Defense Mike Pompeo and Muqtada al-Sadr has let him free on forming a government by choosing ministers far from racial and tribal rationing.

In the same vein, however, Amer al-Fayez, deputy chairman of the al-Bana fraction (affiliated with Hadi al-Ameri and Nouri al-Maliki), said that the prime minister of Iraq, Adil Abdul Mahdi, negotiated an agreement on standards for ministerial posts with political factions.

Al-Fayez said political parties would also negotiate on the names of those who will vote for these posts, and each faction will introduce five candidates and the prime minister will elect one of them. He added that the general approach of factions is to select new faces for these posts. The selection of independent ministers from Abdul Mahdi will be conducted through consultations with political factions.

In this regard, Masoud Barzani, chairman of the Democratic Party of Kurdistan, in a telephone conversation with Abdul Mahdi, examined the formation of a new unified government and said that he supported the efforts of Abdul Mahdi. António Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, expressed hope after the election of Abdul Mahdi as prime minister for the rapid formation of a comprehensive government respecting the constitution in Iraq.

The Iraqi prime minister has a one-month deadline to form his cabinet using the expert opinions of the political factions in the parliament.

According to observers, the prime minister faces a difficult task in view of the efforts of various parliamentary coalitions to introduce themselves as the largest fraction and hence the right to have more quotas.

According to these sources, the Abdul Mahed government will outline 10 priorities, most notably security, economic activation and strengthening decentralization. According to information, the issue of decentralization is likely to resolve many differences with the Kurds. This is the reason why the Kurdish groups welcomed the introduction of the prime minister. It also empowers provinces that have protested in the past days to resolve their problems.

When Abdul Mahdi was in a young age with liberal thoughts, had close relations with the current Vice President Ayad Allawi and the head of the National Congress of Iraq, Ahmed Chalabi. Then he followed the notion of socialism and then turned towards the Shiites. In the last decade of the last century, he was responsible for the Supreme Islamic Council Kurdish region of Iraq. He used the opportunity to use his presence in the Kurdish region with Jalal Talabani and Masoud Barzani. He also established a network of relations with Kurdish and Sunni leaders in Iraq.

On the other hand, Ali Aldabbagh, the official spokesman for the former government of Iraq, told Al- Saudi Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, that Adil Abdul Mahdi will be elected as prime minister in a situation where Iraq has been faces lots of difficulties as a result of the war on ISIL and issues such as the marginalization of the past, lack of water and Increasing expectations and it is not easy for him to successfully complete his mission. He must calmly deal with the citizens, hope them by providing job opportunities and motivating them. He will focus on reducing political tensions inside and outside the region because he is the man of dialogue. He needs to calmly deal with the regional level crisis that have swept the region and strained relations between countries.

Lebanon’s “Al-Akhbar” newspaper also reported in an article titled “the issue was addressed with the Iran’s role” wrote: Choosing Barham Salih for the presidency of Iraq and the mission of Adil Abdul Mahdi to form the government are two important developments that outline the main signs of the solution. These signs emerged with the election of al-Halbousi as head of the parliament. Although this reflects the balance of influence in the Iraqi political arena, this choice has a message with this content that Tehran and its allies in the course of this election and its results have successive political achievements.

The scenario regarding the election of the head of parliament was repeated in the election process of the Iraqi president. This scenario was repeated after the failure of the American effort to figure things out. Washington wanted to save the electoral process in the closing hours with the support of Masoud Barzani’s candidate, but this led to Shiite currents to support Barham Salih. As a result of this process, Barham Salih was appointed Adil Abdul Mahdi to form the government.
